I am trying to install a 2.0 beta system from mounted filesystem,
/usr/debian which has subdirs main, non-free and contrib. Dselect
sees everything, even gives a reasonabe package count in each of the
three areas (> 1500 in main, in the hundreds for each of non-free and
contrib, as I recall). When I go to select individual packages,
everything seems to be there. When it gets to actually installing,
however, it appears to quietly skip over everything in non-free and
contrib -- no explanation. The dpkg manpage says for --yet-to-unpack
"Searches for packages selected for installation,
but which for some reason still haven't been
installed."
and I have
# dpkg --yet-to-unpack
19 packages, from the following sections:
contrib/misc (1) contrib/net (1) contrib/sound (1) contrib/tex (1)
contrib/web (1) non-free/comm (1) non-free/games (1)
non-free/graphics (5) non-free/libs (1) non-free/sound (1)
non-free/tex (1) non-free/text (2) non-free/x11 (2)
But, what is the reason and how do I get it to install these packages?
Liam
